“I’m looking for a plant that is easy to take care of.”
“What colour? Yellow?”
“Yes that would be good.”
“Sunflower yellow, or daffodil yellow?”
“I dunno. something yellow.”
I show her an artificial sunflower made of silk paper, which has been put together by the delft fingers of child labour in China. I buy them at 20 for 1 euro and sell them at 1 for 20 euros
“This is made of paper ” she says
I say "It's a flower. It is yellow, and is easy to care for, and will last you a life time. What more do you want?"
She paid her 20 euros and left.
I won't see her again.
